Night of the Reaper

It wins me over with its confidence in restraint. The final thirty minutes deliver a brutal, satisfying payoff that justifies the slow burn. Strong performances from the lead & sheriff anchor the tension, proving smart atmosphere & character work can elevate modest budget horror.

Had something (kinda) good going for it, up until that idiotic reveal. Cat-and-mouse chase but make both parties stupid.

Acting could have been better. I’m torn between meh and like but leaning more towards like. The twist got a little convoluted

Big letdown given how fun The Puppetman was. This wannabe home invasion slasher starts strong, but quickly begins to falter and slog as it goes on, culminating in a very messy infodump third act.
